The Lord of Ashes

The overall process of the Crown Pearl auction still follows the auction routine from low to high, with fluctuating prices.

And Thain discovered that the yellow-robed magician was very good at arousing the emotions of all participants at the auction.

Originally, Thain thought that an auction item was just that, but after the yellow-robed magician introduced it, he suddenly turned it into a flower.

If Sann hadn't always been surrounded by reason and calmness, he might have fallen into the trap of the yellow-robed magician.

What made Thain even more speechless was that when he came back to his senses and used his mental power to explore the auction site, he did not find any special magic movement.

This shows that the magician did not use any magic or extraneous tricks when explaining the auction items, and relied entirely on his own eloquence...

Also, if mental suggestion or magic induction and other means were used, the Crown Pearl auction would not be possible.

Thain didn't take many shots in the early and middle stages of the auction, mainly because there were only a limited number of things that Thain could take a fancy to.

On the first day, Thain made only three offers, and ended up closing two deals.

They are an anemone growing in the snowy mountains of the North, and the transaction price is 6 magic coins.

As well as a one-time magic prop metamagnetic explosion bomb produced in the City of Steel, the transaction price was 4 magic coins.

Anemones are relatively rare, not that they are difficult to cultivate, but that Thain has never seen them before.

When he and Meili were exchanging potion knowledge on the bed at the Holy Tower of Dawn, Meili gave him a magic notebook with an introduction to anemones.

When making a refreshing potion that is suitable for even first-level magicians, anemone is an important auxiliary material.

As for the magnetic blast bomb that could only threaten the life of a would-be magician, Thain went there purely with the mentality of dismantling it for research.

The mechanics of the City of Steel in the wizarding world are inextricably linked to the profession of alchemist.

As a magician who inherited the legacy of Moses, Thane did not mind learning from the strengths of others and going further in the field of alchemy.

…

When the Crown Pearl auction went on its second day, the part that aroused Thain's great interest finally came.

Nearly 40 magic apprentices and knight attendants from the Black Realm were sold on the auction table.

For more than a day before that, there were magic materials, alchemy tools, alien slaves, rare magic books, etc. that were also placed on the auction table like them.

This also proves that the status of these living magic apprentices and knight attendants in the wizarding world is equivalent to those of alien slaves.

How sad!

The darkness behind the bright appearance of the wizarding world is clearly revealed at this auction.

That being said, Thane actually doesn't have much sympathy for these magic apprentices or knight attendants.

He is not a good old man like Master Midici.

Even from some angles, Thain can be called cold and ruthless.

After the auctioneer introduced the fourth magic apprentice who was brought to the auction stage, Thain took action.

This is a middle-aged male magic apprentice with the strength of an intermediate magic apprentice. The starting price is 5 magic coins.

The reason why Thain chose this person was because he was older and probably knew more about the Black Realm.

In addition, such an old and low-strength magic apprentice really has no attraction to ordinary people.

Thain's judgment was very common sense, and in the end, no one bid for this black magic apprentice with him.

For 6 magic coins, Thane gained ownership of this black magic apprentice.

After this black magic apprentice, Thane made several more moves in the next day, purchasing another female black magic apprentice and a stronger black knight attendant.

Thain's actions were very purposeful and rational.

I don’t know if anyone will pay attention to Thain because of this, but Thain can’t care about this anymore. He must get first-hand information about the Black Territory from these magic apprentices and knight attendants.

In addition to taking into account three human slaves, Thane also purchased some other resources during this period.

The Crown Pearl Auction was a gold-selling den. When Thain felt that he still had more to offer, the more than 200 magic coins he had in his account were almost spent.

Taking a deep breath, Thain did not want to reveal too much wealth in Munich.

During the subsequent auction process, although many things that Thain was interested in appeared one after another, he showed great restraint and only occasionally took action.

On the third day of the auction, a relatively sensational item appeared on the auction stage.

This is an elf slave girl. Although her life level is less than level one, with the average lifespan of the elves, it is not a problem to raise her and play with her for hundreds of years.

Elf female slaves are the most popular slave species in the dark market of the wizarding world. Because of their long lifespan and tough vitality, they are favored by some knights and magicians with evil tastes.

But as far as Thane knows, the Elf World is an important member of the Wizards Alliance.

The importance of the elven world to wizard civilization is not inferior to that of the Titan world.

This is also a powerful large-scale world company that is loyal to wizard civilization and has made many important contributions to the development of the Wizards Alliance.

In return for the elf world, the elf species is also a species that is strictly prohibited from private capture in major holy towers and knight halls.

Moreover, there has never been slavery or coercion in the elf world. This is a green ethnic group that advocates freedom and beauty.

And some people can capture elves and tame them into female slaves.

It is probably not something that a normal magician can do, it is probably the work of a black magician or a black knight.

This female elf slave was imprisoned in a cage, on all fours, and seemed to have lost the ability to walk upright.

The beautiful and well-trained elf slave girl was finally sold for 2,374 magic coins.

Thain didn't know who bought it, but the purchasing power of more than two thousand magic coins was probably not something that ordinary first-level magicians could afford.

The appearance of the elf slave girl was a climax of the auction.

However, on the fourth day of the auction, another climax occurred. This time, the auction item was a pink-tailed mermaid.

The starting price of 3,000 magic coins indicates that this mermaid is far more precious than the elf slave girl of yesterday.

In addition to the fact that mermaids are more difficult to catch than elves, another reason is the special ability of the "blessing of the sea" possessed by the mermaid family.

Whether it is the racial ability of "Blessing of the Sea" or "Curse of the Sea", in the final analysis, it is a occult method, and has long been cracked by the magicians in the wizarding world.

As the auctioneer, the yellow-robed magician also stated that in the process of selling this mermaid, they will give away a matching solution, so that what this mermaid will ultimately give to the mate will only be the "blessing of the sea." .

And it was also from this auctioneer that Thain learned another secret about the mermaid clan.

That is the mermaid clan, who only accept one partner in their life and will never betray them in their life.

The personal strength of the pink-tailed mermaid in front of her was infinitely close to the first level.

After all kinds of blessings, there will be an astonishing starting price of 3,000 magic coins.

This is no longer a beauty that ordinary first-level magicians can get their hands on.
